A newly launched political party, Isle of Man First, has set out a wide-ranging manifesto ahead of the next general election.
The party, which describes itself as focused on "putting Manx residents first", has pledged reforms across health, education, housing, tax, and government efficiency.
Among its key proposals are raising the personal income tax allowance to £20,000 within its first 100 days, with an ambition of increasing that figure to £50,000.
Party Founder Mitch Sorbie sat down with Manx Radio's Christian Jones.
